The first annual Masque ball of
the Wahpeton Fire Department oc.
Cured last evening at Seely's opera
house. Despite the inclemency Of
the weather about sixty maskers and
a large number of friends of the
department were in attendance, and
tripped the light, fantastic toe until
the wee sma' hours, to the delight
lightful music of Rupert & Getch-
ellis orchestra, Of Fargo. The dane
ing began at Il few minutes past
nine. and masks were ordered re.
moved about eleven O'Clock. The
feature of the early evening was
the Cake Walk, in which the masker
carrying himself most gracefully
was to receive a mammoth cake.
Mr.. w. NJ. Grant. impersonating a
"real live dude," took the cake. AL
prize was also offered to the gentle
man wearing the mcst cOmical CO.'S
tune, being u gold napkin ring,
mounted on four silver pillars, and
one for the lady wearing the most
beautiful costume, consisting of a
cut.glass perfumery bottle, mounted
on a chariot. MessrS. Sunderland.
Wolfe and Beatty were the commit
tee on prizes, and awarded the first
to Mr.. John Fisher and the second
to Miss Annie Jacobs. Miss Jacobs
costume was indeed a beauty. being
a blue velvet bodice, the corsage
trimmed with gold braid; buff.col-
ored skirt with four or five bands of
gold lace round the bottom; red sash
at the belt and artificial flowers at
tile throat. Mr.. Fisher certainly
deserved the prize for the most COM
ical costume; it was a German out
fit, complete, the color being yellow
ochre, with faint blue trimmings;
